  • Freeline Therapeutics Holdings plc (NASDAQ:FRLN) further assessed its strategic priorities and decided to pause the development of FLT190 in Fabry disease to focus its resources on advancing FLT201, which has the potential to be a first- and best-in-class gene therapy for Gaucher disease type 1.

  • Earlier, the company expected initial safety and efficacy data in 1H of 2023 and updated data in 2H of 2023.
  • The company has proposed to reduce its workforce by nearly 30%, bringing its headcount to approximately 65 employees. 
  • Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $47.3 million providing a cash runway into the second quarter of 2024.
  • In the Q3 earnings update, the company stopped investment in further development of FLT180a (hemophilia program) without a partner.
  • Price Action: FRLN shares are down 4.79% at $0.46 on the last check Tuesday.
